What new weapons on show say about Beijing’s military strength

China has revealed a set of new weapons, drones and other military services in a huge procession that many see a clear message to the United States and its allies.

This event witnessed that Xi Jinping hosts more than 20 foreign presidents, including Vladimir Putin, Russia and North Korea, Kim Jong Un, both of whom depend on China for economic support and more.

It was a width of the growing power of Xi on the world stage, and the military ingenuity in China – the show included the “Game Keeler” missile, the “Savior Wing” plane, and even automatic wolves.

Beyond noise and brilliant new weapons, what do we know?

Here we have five fast food.

What was clear from Wednesday’s offer was that China was able to produce a variety of weapons quickly.

Ten years ago, the military technology that they presented tends to “primitive copies” of the most advanced equipment invented by the United States, as Michael Raska, assistant professor of the military transformations program at Nianang Technological University in Singapore.

But this offer revealed a more creative and varied group of weapons, especially drones and missiles – a reflection of the progress of the industrial defense complex.

Alexander Neil, an assistant colleague at the Pacific Forum, notes that the China’s structure is from top to bottom and important resources enables her to remove new weapons faster than many other countries.

It can also produce it in huge quantities, which gives it the feature of the battlefield where it can overwhelm the enemy.

“China has the ability to get rid of ammunition and ships and all these platforms … The state can put these directives and get out of them,” says Mr. Neil.

But to what extent can the Chinese army merge these arms systems?

“They can show these cheerful advanced platforms, but are they gracefully organized to use them in the way they want?” Dr. Raska asks.

He adds that it will not be easy because the Chinese army is enormous and not testing, given that it has not participated in a major war for decades.

China has released many missiles, including some new variables.

These include Dongfeng-61, which is able to carry multiple warheads in Nosecone. The Ballisti Dungfeng -5 EGP: It can be launched from northern China and hit the United States; The Dongfeng-26D is the Middle “Dongfeng-26D missile, which can strike the main American military bases in Guam.

There were also many anti-so-called anti-ship missiles such as YJ-17 and YJ-19, which can fly very quickly and unexpectedly to evade anti-Motisy anti-systems.

There is a reason for this focus on missiles.

Mr. Neil says that China is developing missiles and missile forces as a major part of the deterrence strategy – and facing American maritime superiority.

The US Navy is unparalleled in the world with the largest fleet of aircraft companies and carrier strikes – China is still leaving this number.

But Mr. Neil indicates that some of them in the Western Defense community are increasingly arguing that these strike groups are weak, because they are “sitting” effectively for any missile attacks.

Beijing not only strengthens deterrence, but also creates the “second strike possibility,” he says – the country’s ability to make a revenge blow if it was attacked.

Other prominent weapons that talked a lot about the Ly-1 laser weapon, which is mainly a giant laser that can burn or disrupt electronics or even blind pilots; A variety of fifth-generation combat aircraft including J-20 and J-35 aircraft.

There was a wide range of drones, some of which worked for Amnesty International, but those that grabbed the Eye article was the AjX -002 GIANT SuPmarine drone.

Also known as an unknown underwater vehicle (XLUV) of up to 20 meters (65 feet), monitoring and reconnaissance missions can be carried out.

China also offered the GJ-11 Stealth Attack Attack, which is called “The Noyal Wingman”, which can fly alongside a inhabited fighter plane and help in its attacks.

Besides a group of traditional airplanes, there were also “automatic wolves”. Experts say that this can be used for a variety of mining and swimming tasks to hunting enemy soldiers.

The drone screen shows a clear trend that China wants to take with its military strategy, as “not only want to increase, but replace traditional structures.”

I have clearly taken lessons from the Ukraine war, where one can “throw drones only on the enemy” to wear their defenses, as Dr. Raska notes.

And Mr. Neil adds, noting that in a quick battle, decisions must be taken in “nanoism” to defeat the enemy and gain the upper hand-which can be done by artificial intelligence.

He adds that many countries are still concerned about spreading artificial intelligence in their military systems and asking “the comfort we are in the artificial intelligence situation in the killing series.”

But China is very comfortable, according to Dr. Raska. “They believe they can control artificial intelligence. They are walking all the way to merge them into their systems.”

The show clearly shows that China is quickly joined with the United States in its military technology, and has the resources necessary to build a huge arsenal of weapons.

But experts are that the United States still maintains an advantage in operations.

Dr. Raska notes that the American army “excels” because there is a culture “from bottom to top” where units on the ground can make decisions because the situation develops and changes their fighting strategies. This makes them more flexible in a battle.

On the other hand, China adds “from top to bottom” where “they can have glamorous platforms and systems, but it will not move a finger until they receive a request from above.”

“The Chinese believe its technology that creates deterrence. They believe that this will deter the United States … but at the operational level, there were cases showing that it may not be good as they say,” says Dr. Raska. Last month incident When a Chinese warship shocked one of its small ships because it faced the Philippine Coast Guard.

With the leadership of more than twenty countries inviting this event, the weapons and tank procession was mainly a giant sales stadium on Chinese weapons for potential buyers, indicated by Mr. Neil.

It is already known that some present countries such as Myanmar buy huge amounts of Chinese weapons. But the opportunity to sell to new customers or increasing requests is how the Chinese government can extend its influence worldwide, as Dr. Raska notes.

Among the main clients were those who stood in the foreground and the center with XI – Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.

The three presented a unified front walking to the show together and stood on the stage.

This was a message to the United States, Mr. Neil says: If America really wants to challenge them, this means “fighting them in many possible theaters at the same time – the Korean Peninsula, the Strait of Taiwan, and Ukraine.”

“If you are thinking about it, which leads to pressure on the United States on all three areas, it may fail in one of these theaters.”
